38 Londres Street: On Impunity, Pinochet In England And A Nazi In Patagonia

'An indelible and enthralling work of moral witness' PATRICK RADDEN KEEFE
'These questions of memory and impunity are forever timely' FINANCIAL TIMES
'An extraordinary achievement . . . I read with open mouth and thumping heart' STEPHEN FRY

The house at 38 Londres Street in Santiago, Chile, is home to the legacies of two men whose personal stories span continents, nationalities and decades of atrocity: Augusto Pinochet, President of Chile, and Walther Rauff, a Nazi SS officer responsible for the use of gas vans. In 38 Londres Street, Philippe Sands blends personal memoir, historical detective work and gripping courtroom drama to probe a secret double story of mass murder, one that reveals a shocking link between the horrors of the 1940s with those of our own times. In so doing, he reveals an untold and astonishing tale of the legacy of unchecked criminality and the road to impunity.

'Combines the tone of the thriller with an astute and dramatic account of a most complex and fascinating legal case. A brilliant and important book' COLM TOIBIN

'[An] intriguing, beautifully observed and thoughtful book about immunity and impunity . . . Sands makes his legal arguments come alive' - THE TIMES

'Sands is a storyteller and a scholar, capable of turning scraps into an enthralling collage . . . These questions of memory and impunity are forever timely' - FINANCIAL TIMES

'A gripping blend of memoir, investigative journalism and courtroom drama, with a narrative spanning decades and thousands of miles' - NEW STATESMAN

'Well told . . . An account of how difficult it is to bring to book those guilty of the most appalling crimes' - TELEGRAPH

'Not just a gripping behind-the-scenes court drama . . . [uncovers] the chilling, macabre truth' - TLS

'Sands's achievement is to excavate a deeper intimacy between the cases of Rauff and Pinochet . . . he follows each twist in the double narrative with an impressive combination of moral clarity and judicious detachment . . . But it is Sands's expertise in international law, coupled with a natural storyteller's intuition for structure, that gives his latest book its understated power. His stories have all the more impact for their subtlety' - GUARDIAN

'This remarkable, sweeping book completes Sands's trilogy about Nazi war crimes . . . Sands's exhaustive research is as impressive as his storytelling' - SUNDAY INDEPENDENT

'The concluding part of Philippe Sands's extraordinary trilogy - part history, part moral investigation, part memoir - that documents the legal and personal battles to bring to account Nazi war criminals and their disciples . . . One of Sands's strengths as a writer is that he resists the impulse to demonise . . . He achieves [a damning picture] with his understated doggedness' - OBSERVER

'A mixture of personal memoir and historical detective work [that] tells the story of Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet . . . Fascinating' - THE i PAPER, Books of the Year

'An extraordinary expose of the collusion of Nazis with the Pinochet dictatorship in Chile' - KIRKUS, starred review

'Fascinating' - JEWISH CHRONICLE

'A remarkable book . . . It is the relentless pursuit of this hidden and repulsive past that gives 38 Londres Street its startling originality, turning it into a tour de force that extends its reach far beyond what we typically envisage from a book about human rights . . . Sands's book takes on the pace of a thriller . . . A masterful work' - NEW YORK REVIEW OF BOOKS

'Marvellous and absorbing . . . Sands is a consummate storyteller' - NEW YORK TIMES

Pretty funny
Format: Hardcover
The book gives us a more focused outlook on Chieg Wiggum. Full of its funny moments, I`d recomend this to huge Simpsons fans as it seems the shows writers managed to give us another hit.

Not the best, but not the worst either
Format: Hardcover
By any means not the funniest book in the series, only the one on Krusty the Clown was more un-funny; but still a worthy addition to your collection and, just like all the others from the series providing a retrospective of anecdotes you might have forgotten.
